This pilot introduces AI-powered predictive modeling to improve productivity, profitability, and climate resilience in Sri Lanka’s tea industry, an essential economic sector employing over one million people. The project focuses on using deep learning model to generate short- and medium-term forecasts of tea yields based on a range of agronomic and climatic factors.

The pilot is being developed in collaboration with Green Fields Bio Plantations’ and researchers from Sabaragamuwa University. The outputs of this project will inform decision-making at the plantation level, while also supporting investment cases for scaling up agroforestry across the industry.
